    Same here Wayne. I always unhook all the straps at the top of the ramp so I can get in and out of the ramp fast

    uhhhh, no it ain't.

    Ya know, the way I see this, is on your maiden voyage, you HAVE out gewbered Wb. And also might i add. I predickted this jus last week. I was wrong about how long it would take for the wifey to let you carry the boat out. (This gewberish episode may jus take care of that though). She should sell her boat today before you get seriously hurt.
    Like someone else said, don't never unhook yo boat til the tires touch the water. Specially since you don't know how the boat reacts to anything.

    WB's misfortune was an oversight on his part. Yours, on the other hand, was jus plain ignerance. DD, you are Inchin yo way up the ladder towards glory. Or should I say, they makin you look smarter than you really is.

    No rollers on the trailer. Maybe they waxed the thing. We were backing down at a normal rate of speed and no sudden stop. It just slid right off.

    I knew that I could count on you minner.. Pffffffffffffttt

    I was at the Madison Landing yesterday at the Rez & saw a girl spraying silicone on the bunks, she said they do this before loading the first time of the season. They had a big boat. Maybe that's what the former owner did to your trailer ES.

    Sorry ES. All boats are different, I've had some that you ALWAYS had to keep hooked up until you hit water and some that are never a problem even when the bunks are wet. Tough way to find out yours is in the first category, hope you get off easy on the repairs.
    It's all over but the fryin'......

    So sorry to hear about that, Empty!!!!! Get an aluminum welder that knows his stuff and have him fix the boat properly!!! Do not attempt to patch it or let some other YAYHOO attempt it!!!

    Best of luck!

    On the positive side, besides the new leak and steering alignment problem, the motor ran great and everything else seemed to work fine.

    The FF at the console wouldn't read my depth while the boat was moving, so I thought it was because the transducer was mounted in a wierd spot and the turbulence was interupting. But after I took the boat out of the water I noticed that the TD had come unclipped and was flopping around. Hopefully it will work properly now
